The Gators advanced to the quarterfinals of the College World Series last year and the program is one of the best in the country. Florida won national titles in 2014 and 2015, and was the national runner-up in 2017. Bosch will serve as the school's pitching coach.

Syracuse's most recent NCAA Tournament appearances came while it was a member of the Big East. The Orange made the NCAA Tournament in three consecutive years (2010, 2011 and 2012) under former coach Leigh Ross but have not been since.

In joining the ACC, Syracuse entered one of the country's elite softball conferences. Florida State, for instance, won the national title this year.

Bosch coached three years at SU, delivering three winning records and at least 30 wins in each of the last two seasons.

Syracuse announced that Miranda Kramer, who has spent one year at Syracuse as an assistant coach and another as a volunteer coach, will take over as the interim. The school said it will launch a national search for its next head coach.

Kramer was a dominant pitcher in college for Purdue University Fort Wayne and Western Kentucky, leading the country in strikeouts as a senior for WKU in 2015. Syracuse said she has served as a pitching specialist with the Orange, working closely with current ace Alexa Romero. Romero was named All-ACC Second Team this past season.
